Group Social Structure

Just finished reading an article about patterns of societies and groups that one should keep in mind when designing social software (hat tip to Alias). The author separates his talk into three sections: 1) why and how a group is its own worst enemy, 2) why is the social software explosion happening now, and 3) what things that, if integrated into social software, it support large-scale and long-lived groups. It's well worth the read.
